(B) 2F
(C) F
(D) F/2
(E) F/4

Answer:

(D) F/2

Explanation:

Since the circular section is unbanked, the centripedal acceleration acting on each of the cars is

$a_s = \frac{v_s^2}{r} = \frac{(2v)^2}{r} = \frac{4v^2}{r}$

$a_l = \frac{v_l^2}{r} = \frac{v^2}{r}$

Therefore the centripetal force on each car

$F_s = m_sa_s = \frac{4mv^2}{r}$

$F_l = m_la_l = \frac{2mv^2}{r}$

Since $F_s = 2F_l$ this means the friction force required to keep the large car on the road is only half of the friction force required to keep the small car on road

So (D) F/2 is the correct answer

What two bodily functions are increased by a warm up

drek231 [11]

1) Blood flow: increases during warming improving muscle and joint elasticity. This decreases the possibility of having an injury.

2) Body temperature: This causes the cellular metabolism to increase. It also causes vasodilatation that allows a greater supply of oxygen and nutrients.

A boy jumps from rest, straight down from the top of a cliff. He falls halfway down to the water below in 0.866 s. How much time

Iteru [2.4K]

<h2>Entire trip takes 1.22 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Time, t = 0.866 s

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = 0 x 0.866 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 0.866²

s = 3.68 m

Halfway is 3.68 m

Total height = 2 x 3.68 = 7.36 m

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Time, t = ?

Displacement, s = 7.36 m

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

7.36 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

t = 1.22 s

Entire trip takes 1.22 seconds.

A small rock is thrown straight up with initial speed v0 from the edge of the roof of a building with height H. The rock travels

Crank

Answer:

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }$

Explanation:

The average velocity is total displacement divided by time:

$v_{avg} =\dfrac{D_{tot}}{t}$

And in the case of vertical $v_{avg}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}$

where $y_{tot}$ is the total vertical displacement of the rock.

The vertical displacement of the rock when it is thrown straight up from height $H$ with initial velocity $v_0$ is given by:

$y=H+v_0t-\dfrac{1}{2} gt^2$

The time it takes for the rock to reach maximum height is when $y'(t)=0$ , and it is

$t=\frac{v_0}{g}$

The vertical distance it would have traveled in that time is

$y=H+v_0(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )-\dfrac{1}{2} g(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )^2$

$y_{max}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}$

This is the maximum height the rock reaches, and after it has reached this height the rock the starts moving downwards and eventually reaches the ground. The distance it would have traveled then would be:

$y_{down}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H$

Therefore, the total displacement throughout the rock's journey is

$y_{tot}=y_{max}+y_{down}$

$y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H$

$\boxed{y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H}$

Now wee need to figure out the time of the journey.

We already know that the rock reaches the maximum height at

$t=\dfrac{v_0}{g},$

and it should take the rock the same amount of time to return to the roof, and it takes another $t_0$ to go from the roof of the building to the ground; therefore,

$t_{tot}=2\dfrac{v_0}{g}+t_0$

where $t_0$ is the time it takes the rock to go from the roof of the building to the ground, and it is given by

$H=v_0t_0+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_0^2$

we solve for $t_0$ using the quadratic formula and take the positive value to get:

$t_0=\dfrac{-v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g}$

Therefore the total time is

$t_{tot}= 2\dfrac{v_0}{g}+\dfrac{-v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g}$

$\boxed{t_{tot}= \dfrac{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g}}$

Now the average velocity is

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{\frac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H }{\frac{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g} }$

$\boxed{v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} } }$
